Purdue quarterback David Blough was one of numerous people to speak at Tyler Trent's funeral in Indianapolis Tuesday night. Blough recalled his time with Trent at the college football awards show.

"The 48 hours I got to spend with the Trent family as a part of Tyler’s entourage like everybody else has mentioned, at the college football awards show was easily the best 48 hours of my life. We got to do some incredible things. With Ethan and Blake it was all about flying on a private jet and staying at a pretty sweet hotel. We even got to meet some of our favorite sports icons. However, what made the time I got to spend as an adopted member of the Trent family were the conversations that were had, the relationships that were deepened and the memories that were shared."

Blough introduced himself as Tyler's co-captain—Trent was a co-captain of the Purdue football team this season—but said that was just one of the titles his friend held. Most important, Blough said, was Trent's relationship with Christ.

"Now I think that if Tyler and I had the opportunity to discuss what I was planning on sharing this evening, the conversation would be simple. He would want it to revolve around the five-letter name that has stood the test of time. He would want tonight to be all about Jesus. As we reflect on our family member, our friend, our teammate, captain, our classmate, our cancer-fighting warrior, most importantly tonight we get to remember Tyler as a follower of Jesus.”
